Ольга Яковлева. Повести

Sergey Anatolyevich Ivanov (1941-1999) – a children's writer and poet, educator, author of scripts for famous cartoons "The Snow from Last Year Fell", "Lost and Found Bureau", "Neznayka on the Moon", holder of the honorary diploma named after H.C. Andersen.
"The Children's Dostoevsky" – this is how poet and writer Eduard Uspensky called Sergey Ivanov, and not without reason: the school stories written by Sergey Ivanov are not only captivating and easy to read, but they are also filled with events that modern schoolchildren encounter. Friendship, infatuation, difficulties in communication with parents and peers, the ability to empathize and help the weak – these are timeless, pressing themes.
After the story "Olga Yakovleva" was published in 1976, Sergey Ivanov gained fame as an author writing about the problems of teenagers. This predetermined the writer's creativity for many years to come. The story of second grader Olga and her friend, the troublemaker and fighter, Genka, whose behavior literally drives the entire school crazy, had an overwhelming success. And how wonderful it is that Genka has such a loyal friend – Olga. A responsible, honest, kind girl. She will never leave anyone in trouble.
The book also includes the story "In the Infinite Forest and Other Stories about 6th 'V'" – these are tales about the life of schoolchildren in one class. About how difficult it is to move to a new school, about first love for the prettiest girl in the class, about the incredible discovery made by the class during an outing – a camp of partisans from the Great Patriotic War, and much, much more, read in this book.
For middle school age.
